New Innovations for Reno in 2008!

Enhanced Companion Program!
Gaming, hiking, skiing, fly- fishing, canoeing, sightseeing, shopping … Reno and Lake Tahoe offer great destination spots for families and friends. No matter what they enjoy doing, your guest will NEVER lack for something to do. In addition, we've got plans in the works to enhance the program for guests to make sure that everyone who comes to the meeting will walk away with fantastic experiences.

Riverboat Tour!
Speaking of guests, we've arranged for a tour that will surely be of interest to many guests. A bus will come to the Convention Center on Monday morning, drive you to Lake Tahoe, where you'll board a boat to tour some of the most pristine and scenic waterways in the western United States. Make your guest's experience in Reno unforgettable--sign up for the tour!

International Web Conferencing to be Available in Reno!
One of the exciting developments at this year’s ESA Annual Meeting in Reno will be the expansion of symposia featuring speakers from around the world via web-conferencing technology. When the symposia are not in session, this technology will be available for use by Networks or other groups of meeting attendees who might want to meet with colleagues from around the world. There will be no charge for conferees’ use of this service, and any group of attendees is eligible to request it. If you would like to schedule a meeting for your group, contact the IAC Chair, Megha Parajulee (m-parajulee@tamu.edu), and he will handle your request. If you think that you might be interested in using this technology in Reno but you have questions or would like further information, feel free to contact Grayson Brown, Program Committee Co-Chair (gcbrown147@gmail.com).

Childcare is back!
Following on the heels of a very successful debut at the San Diego meeting, ESA is pleased to once again be able to offer partially-subsidized childcare for our attendees, members, and guests. The provider is Kiddie-Corp, the standard bearer in the industry for quality childcare at professional meetings. Spots are limited, so please visit the Kiddie Corp website to reserve your spots today. You can also review our PDF, which includes an offline application.
